Reminds me of a TRUE story. Someone I know went to a Yankee playoff game with then New York Governor Patterson (who is blind). After a great play, the person I know yelled with excitement to Gov. Patterson, "Did you see that amazing play?!"

Ahahaha. He's actually partially blind.

Joan Rivers seems to be 1) a pretty frequent AA flyer and 2) a fairly recognizable celebrity. We have reports of her quite often within this thread. (Heck, I've even run into her before at LAX!)

I wonder if she's EXP and gets upgraded or whether she buys FC. I also wonder how many people like her may be EXP and not even realize the benefits and just buy FC tix. I wonder if I'll ever know.

On the LAX-JFK route, she's always in 3-Class First which you can't upgrade to except from paid Biz (with miles, not for free). That said, I'm sure Joan Rivers has a contract allowing for paid First/highest class of service. I can't really imagine her sitting in coach after missing an upgrade

I can't imagine sitting next to her in coach after she missed an upgrade.

Although it could have substantial amusement value.

I know she has had a reality show the past couple of years and flies to LA to shoot with her daughter, but I'd guess her travel to visit family otherwise is on her own dime. But, I agree. I can't imagine her in coach with the rabble.

Warren Sapp + wife on MIA-SJU J. They then had somebody waiting for them outside the gate (airside) with a "Welcome Sapp's" sign.

Anthony Bourdain


Guy Fierri


Which one?
Been a while since I was in this thread but it was, indeed, #1. He did look a bit more sickly and older (imagine that!) but the, errr, body type and fashion preferences in those two photos are dramatically different.

let"s put it this way: i went to college with her daughter and her daughter flew F to/from the university back to LA. not only is JR an entertainer in her own right, she's the window of a guy who ran a TV network.
